Absolutely stunning. An unbelievably extensive collection of fascinating objects, beautifully displayed and clearly very well taken care of. I questioned why the ticket covers 24 hours but after the museum I agree that there is too much to really see for one day! I go to a lot of museums but this has to be my all time favourite. I really enjoyed seeing the early marking machinery and the early tank. There is also a wide gauge steam loco with beautifully preserved rolling stock. A real joy to visit.

Indeed a very interesting museum and well worth your time and money! They have a collection on basically everything, from fossils to ancient ages to conquistadors and the modern age. Impressive set of artefacts and stories, you could spend more than a day there. I really do recommend. And they have a nice, safe, free parking just in front 😀

One of the best museums I've visited. Be aware that most of the signs aren't in English but I just translated with Google lens. I went back twice as the ticket allows 24hr entry.

Unmissable collection of thousand of well curated pieces of Chilean and universal history, your ticket is 24 hrs long so you can comeback to see every item

Without any doubt, the Colchagua museum is a must while in Santa Cruz if you like museums, of course, it has a brief introduction on how earth started, main ages from the paleozoic era l till our days, and it gets more detail in the southern American cultures, getting more detailed towards the ones who occupied the actual Chilean land, most of then sadly extinguished by the colonization process, who is also depicted, as well as the different periods of the Chilean history to finally ends with the Colchagua valley and its huasos, in brief, is a history tell as a funnel converging in this territory. It also has an industrialization area, mainly represented by late XIX and early XX centuries, beautiful machines, definitely lovely and also liked it very much a huge collection of amber with lot of bugs and plants captured within, you have the help of augmented lens to see them through the light. Sounds good, right? It is indeed, the only missing star is because some info is not totally accurate and most because there's no written info in other language than Spanish, that's all.

Excellent, excellent museum covering the whole history of Chile from prehistory up until the present, with especially impressive collections of precolumbian art, jewelry and tapestry. It's a private collection of impressive scale and quality. There are also fascinating exhibits on weapons, carriages and even the Chilean miner rescue of 2010. My whole family loved this museum

This museum is huge, i didn't think I'd spent this much time there but it was definitely needed. You'll end up going through a lot of history of Chile, from the oldest to recent stuff. The collection of items and artefacts us to be seen, be ready to spend hours wandering around. The building itself is a piece of history being a reconstruction after the previous building was torn down by an earthquake

We booked the carriage tour of vineyard (which they happily reorganised for us due to weather) and was really impressed with our guide Bastian, who was very charming and knowledgeable. The surroundings and scenery are spectacular with stables and horses grasing in the paddocks. The tasting was of high quality and the talk on history of vineyard very interesting.

Good experience. Awesome wine. Best Malbec in Chile

The most beautiful vineyard we visited while in the region. We had an incredible tour guide while on the horse drawn carriage tour, and it was a wonderful experience tasting several wines. Every person we talked to here was so kind and willing to answer all of our questions. I could’ve spent much more time exploring the grounds and drinking the delightful wine!

Beautiful place where you really find peace and passion for wine. Beautiful facility, would have loved to come with more time to enjoy a meal at the restaurant. Enjoyed the tour and the wine sampling was exceptional.

Had a great morning on the e-bike tour plus wine tasting with Isabel. It was just the 2 of us, so a very personal tour, and it was also harvest time, which made it more special. Isabel is a great guide, very knowledgeable, made us feel very welcome and speaks very good English. After a gentle pedal around the picturesque vineyards, we then tasted some very good wines with snacks in part of the lovely buildings. I highly recommend a visit to Viu Manent.

Great winery. Spectacular tour, you may see the vineyards while a short trip in a carriage pulled by beautiful horses. At the end, you can visit the family cellar, and if you are lucky you may keep one of the wines of the tasting. We choose the iconic Incidente ;)

We took the premium tour that includes a ride in a horse drawn carriage. The tour was fun and very informative. The tasting at the end of the tour was very generous and gave plenty of time to enjoy their excellent wines.

Great wine, awesome location. Knowledgeable, courteous and professional staff. Plan your tour in advance and enjoy a delightful time.

We had a great morning touring the winery. The wines are top notch and the winery itself spares no expense. The guides were very informative and they let us stay and relax for the tasting after the tour. We look forward to coming back to stay once the residences have been renovated.

I don’t know if this wine tour can be beat, period. I arrived yesterday without a reservation to the 3pm tour and was worried upon initially arriving what the situation would be. Not to fear- as soon as I opened the door and saw Jorge and said hello I knew from my travels that this was going to be a top top experience far beyond and better than anything I could have possibly imagined. I opted for the anthology package which allows you to try clos apalta, la petit clos, and a vintage clos apalta wine. 2019, 2019, and 2012 respectively. The tour itself was unbelievable and amazing, it just so happened I was the only one there for the tour so it was totally private and I got to interact with Jorge and ask him as many questions as I could possibly think of. Jorge himself was very knowledgeable about intricacies and subtleties of this mind blowing vineyard and was convivial as well. Clos apalta is a 100% organic vineyard since ‘97. The owners are of French descent and previously used to own Gran Mariner before selling it to Campari to focus on their own vineyard. The attention to detail is striking, and the eco sustainability is something to be admired. They left no stone unturned and no expense spared. The main fermentation, distillation, and storing rooms are carved in a tower 8 stories deep into bedrock acting as a natural cellar throughout. Tip of the iceberg. Go there and check out for yourself the incredible and understated class of this property and the attention to detail. The fact that the lodges are a R&C linked property is icing on the cake. Disclaimer: lodges are closed for renovations and expansion of more units until October so if you can’t book a room, that’s why! If the lodging is closed, so is the restaurant which is again only reserved for paying guests. Clos apalta is the best, simply put.

This was a great tour. They bring you around in a large cart. The winery has a lot of unique designs that’s so interesting to see. The area itself is beautiful with expansive vineyards and alpacas. The tasting had very good wines and we had a nice group with great conversations!

We had maybe the best wine tour I have ever done here. The guide went deep into the technical details of the process and explained the unique design of the building very well. He also described the wines very well and we tasted a delicious clos Apalta wine from 2015. Strongly recommend it.

Awesome wine visit! If you are looking to know more about premium wines (Iconos, as they call it here) this is a must go. The visit starts on top of the winery overlooking the valley, and ends on 5 stories down on a beautiful cellar where tasting occurs. We loved it!

My favourite winery in Chile, spectacular views and stunning grounds. Delicious wine and pairing menu - definitively worth a visit. Highly recommend.

Montes is the best Winery that we have visited! Maybe it was the ageing room where classical music is played 24/7. Or was it the actual wines ? The scenery even on a rainy day, the food ? The people? It's a combination of all ! Thanks to our guide Eric, knowledgeable, friendly and best of all knows exactly what he's talking about without been a wine snob. We will be returning in April for the harvest 🥰

A fabulous vineyard ! The vineyard tour & wine tasting was absolutely great. Following the touring of the vineyard with a detailed history of the estate the tour then went into the details of wine making. The tour was very informative & interesting. The subsequent visit to the store room where the wine ages in the oak barrels was surreal. Gregorian chants help the wine to age. - What an experience ! The wine tasting consisted of 2 icon wines 🍷 which were absolutely delicious to try - Purple Angel & 'M' . A great experience which can only be highly recommended.

What a fabulous tour we had with Nicole at the Montes Vineyard! Unique experience highly worth the detour! Surprising approach I'll leave you to discover (although some might have given it away). Worth eating at the restaurant too, in the middle of the vines 😍🍷

They deserve to be called the third best winery in the world. From top to bottom everything is first class. The wines are all delicious and the tour is very very informative. We got to visit during the Cabernet Sauvignon crush and see the equipment in action. Love the glasses in the tasting room.

This place has it all. Hand down the best winery we’ve ever visited. We had a flat tire on our way there and the repair in tow was fast but not fast enough to get us there in time. No worries they made it work for us and we were sooo grateful. We missed the full tour but the tastings were all sooo god and our tour guide Jose- he was amazing. Knowledgeable, helpful and thoughtful. The views from the tasting room were also 10/10. And then lunch… ok that’s a different review but so so so so so so sooooo good!

We took a tour of the winery which gave a good overview of the grounds and their wine making process, and included a nice tasting. Beautiful winery and the best part had to be having lunch at the restaurant sitting right in among the vines.

Fantastic service and wine. Thank you Nas! See you in April

We had an excellent and informative winetasting with great wines. Our host took us to the vineyards and explained about the different kind of grapes. Then we tasted 5 excellent wines. Our host was knowledgeable and took a lot of time. A very pleasant experience-

Had an amazing vino y sabores tour with Marcelo. His passion and enthusiasm for wine is contagious and he taught us so much about the history of Colchagua wine making. I totally recommend this tour, it’s well worth it!

We did their new Legacy tasting where we actually got to select 3 wines to include in our tasting which was amazing. The wines were paired with a local plate of charcuterie and cheese that was great. Our host Marcelo did a fantastic job in the vi years and the winery. A unique experience you won’t find anywhere else

Lovely few hours sitting on the decking admiring the scenery with a delicious cheese n meats board and a bottle of wine. The lady on reception was so friendly and helpful in arranging us the platter and recommending a bottle of wine (as opposed to 2 glasses! :-) ) - and so kindly providing us with the ability to continue enjoying wine ;-). Gorgeous setting, just wish we'd got a taxi up here so we could both drink and have a leisurely afternoon here with such lovely views. Hope we can return here at the end of our trip.

We did the tour today and Fernanda made it amazing ! She was very knowledgable not only about wine but also history. She was very kind and offered us a perfect description of wine and tasting experience. We really enjoyed it ! We learnt a lot ! I would recommend it 100%. The wines were very great. It was the best tasting experience we had so far !

I had the most incredible tour and tasting with Marcelo at MontGras in Santa Cruz. He was passionate beyond belief and it is clear he truly loves what he does. We started with a walk through the vines, where he took me through each grape varietal, quizzing me along the way and keeping me completely engaged. Then we toured the production area and cellar before finishing with a tasting. Marcelo was kind, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience both educational and fun. I learnt so much and left with an even stronger appreciation for Chilean wine. By far the best winery tour I’ve ever engaged in. I would recommend MontGras and Marcelo to anyone visiting Santa Cruz or Chile.

We were lucky and got a winetasting as a couple privately with montgras vinery even though we booked a regular tasting. Fernanda did a great job. She showed and explained to us the wine making process in detail from the different grapes to the different kinds of barrel etc. She was super knowledgable about different tastes, the wines themselves, the history of winemaking in chile and loads more. We lernt a lot and had a great time. Her english was super good aswell. Getting to the vinery from santa cruz by uber worked super well and the property is really beautiful. I can only recommend the experience to everyone. We tasted three wines and they were all excellent. We got to know so much about them that it feels like it would have been too much to taste more wines. Se arrived about 45 min before the tasting and were able to see a small wine museum in the building and enjoy the beautiful view while waiting. I d definitly recommend arriving a bit sooner to get the most out of the experience. Thanks Montgras for the experience.

There was a distinct lack of zirconium decor, which is why I came. Frankly, as a metallurgical tourism destination, I found it dissappointing.

Looks like a very fancy casino from the outside, but inside it is more casual. Good for a fun evening though with special events every day.

Nice place. Few people on Tuesday night

Excellent performance by the M. C.

Great place

Syper

Super
